Maximally comma after Chess. This is maximal size of name.
To really make that work, I'd recommend putting a semicolon after the first "Chess" and a comma after the "or."
changed “aka” to “or”

This would ofc be equally interesting with more different pawns on a larger variant
(and as for the name, I don't necessarily disagree about the ‘aka’, but either suggested name is fine afaict — and it's less verbose than some of the other games on these pages)

If the variant is really widely known under various different names multiple entries for it can be made in the index. I doubt that this is the case here, though.
The name may be awful, but it's awful in a very fun way. Please don't change it!
This game is considered as ready.
Yes, name is awful, but…

It's also, I think, miscategorized.
Not Usual Equipment, because you have to differentiate all the pawns.
Not dice: I don't think the use of dice in initial setup randomization counts (precedent?).
Not crossover: blending different chess variants doesn't count (or almost all of them would be in this category); it requires blending with some other, more different, game.
And what does "Price" mean?
